Best Virtually Fat Free Zucchini Bread Recipes

VEGAN ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and grease and line a loaf pan.
• Grate the zucchini. I use the grating attachment on my food processor. Then add it along with the plant milk, vanilla extract, oil and apple cider vinegar to a bowl and stir together.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and ground flax seed to another large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Pour the wet zucchini mixture into the dry mixture and stir together with a spatula until just combined. It's a stiff batter, and at first will feel and look too dry, but be patient and it will come together as the zucchini lets out it's moisture.
• Add mix-ins of choice and stir gently to combine.
• Spoon into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle on a generous amount of sugar and some extra nuts or chocolate chips if using, then bake for 70 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
• Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave for 10 to 15 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a cooling rack.

HEALTHY ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan to prevent the bread from sticking. If you'll be toasting the nuts, line a small, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Toast the nuts: Once the oven has finished preheating, pour the chopped nuts onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are fragrant and toasted, about 5 minutes, stirring halfway.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and honey. Beat them with a whisk until they are combined. Add the eggs and beat well. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 20 seconds in the microwave.)
• Add the milk, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and nutmeg, and whisk to blend. Switch to a big spoon and stir in the zucchini (be sure to squeeze excess moisture out of the zucchini first). Add the flour and stir just until combined. Some lumps are ok! Gently fold in the toasted nuts now, if using.
• Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with additional cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the center of the loaf springs back to the touch. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack. Use a serrated knife to cut individual slices.
• This bread is moist, so it will keep for just 2 to 3 days at room temperature. Store it in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months or so. I like to slice the bread before freezing and defrost individual slices, either by lightly toasting them or defrosting them in the microwave.
